Well, technically the duplicate is usually created by the sender's mail server when one sends a mail to two different addresses. The MUA only creates one mail with one ID. This debate will never end and is therefore pointless. I doubt you will convince many people to switch to a different MUA just to spare you from duplicates. Some people don't even have the choice.

Sometimes there are even triplikates (can one call > that so?) sent... I guess the first to arrive wins. Unfortunately, this is usually the direct mail. This is annoying when one uses list headers to sort mail. Matthias _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
